January Challenges - recreation mani for a birthday collaboration

Iva @secretjewelgarden invited me to join a collaboration mani for Stefi @therapywithnailpolish's birthday.
I chose to recreate this mani of Stefi's because it is so pretty, and it helped that I have Fancy Gloss Frozen Berries and hehe 040 that Stefi used for the original!! I used Nails Inc Royal Mews with Frozen Berries for my gradient and stamped with Colour Alike Kind of Black and hehe 040.
I loved this so much I took way too many pics - sorry :) I also wore it for 2 days!

Nails Inc Royal Mews

This is a varnish that I saw on QVC, fell in love with and wanted soooo badly!!! Finally I got one in a swap, quite some time ago, and then when I wore it I wasn't so sure. Anyway, I got Royal Mews out again last week, and fell back in love with it. It is a silver holo, quite subtle and very difficult to capture on camera but it is very pretty. The close up shot I think does begin to show the holo and the colours it picks up, but even when the holo is being very shy, it's still a lovely varnish, nicely understated for those days when you want your nails to look groomed but not really shouting about it!
